I can second Sourcehut. It looks clunky, but works fast, works well and is easy to interface with.

I moved completely to Sourcehut, and I'm not coming back.

The Sourcehut build system is also really good. It looks clunky and feels like it should be lacking in features, but realistically most of my build pipelines always ends up as a Makefile or a shell script anyway, so it fits my mental model pretty well.

Yeah I love Sourcehut because I don't think about it... at all.

The reliance on email though is a hill I'll die on. In the 90s when spam was less of an issue that would've been great. Now? I don't want to be forced into dealing with fucking email to manage issues. So yeah for my projects (which are quite small) I think SourceHut is a great fit. For a large project like rust or firefox? Not so much.
